What games should put Accolades first for the Linux Community? Thread - Linux Gamers

Desura has the wicked accolades system they wanna use and players wanna see it. Now it's up to the developers to add them into the game. and work with Desura to get them in. Here are my top 5 that should add them for the Linux community.

1. Monster 2 : With this company planning on doing tons of updates and adding more monsters and areas. this game should definitly add the accolades.

2. Xonotic : Love this game and wanna see accolades added to this game.

3. Oilrush : its oilrush, enough said.

4. Survivors of Ragnarök : ok from what I have played I really want this game to have accolades

5. KAG (King Arthur's Gold): This game has massive potential like the other 4 in the market and Accolades will help.

What are your 5 games?

What are these "accolades" you speak of?

accolades are like the achievement system on xbox or on steam.

So why not call them just achievements like everybody else? I see no point in making up a new name just for the sake of being different. Anyway thx for the info.
Now on topic - I think that the first in line games should be the ones that have already implemented achievements for other content providers. Dungeons of Dredmor comes to mind, also Jamestown, Trine, Defcon, Scoregasm, and many such others. I think these would have the least work needed to implement this.

Desura Support page:
"Accolades and Community Give your customers incentive to play by tapping into Desura's accolades/achievements API. Each time a player checks off an accolade their friends and community will be notified. Your game will take center stage as the Desura community compares accolades earned, talks about your game and challenges one another to do better."

I don't make stuff up for the fact of being different. If it is written on the site then thats what I call it.

I could also see Hack,Slash and Loot being first too since their systems is ready to go.

Ah sorry, I mistakenly thought you were somehow connected to the naming convention here. Sorry again.
On a side note - I think it would be cool if different content platforms could talk to each other to synchronize the achievements that each user has. I mean - some achievements are not easy to get and it would be nice that if I'd connect e.g. my steam and desura accounts for this purpose that I would have my achiev's in sync on both platforms. Ehhh... Daydreaming again :-P.
